UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has been removed from the UFC Fan Fest being held at the Ellipse in Washington D.C.
On Sunday evening, Strickland who is not on the UFC Freedom 250 fight card being held on the White House’s lawn, posted a photo on Instagram of him being escorted by U.S. Marshals and U.S. Park Police officers from the UFC’s Fan Fest venue.
Strickland in a caption wrote, “I may have been charged with disorderly conduct. I don’t know what that is but it sounds cool.”
Per MMA Fighting:
UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland could be looking a misdemeanor charge for disorderly conduct after sneaking into the UFC Fan Fest at the White House on Sunday.
After claiming he was banned from attending the historic event, Strickland still made his way to Washington D.C. where he was mobbed by fans during the pre-fight press conference on Friday. Strickland then attempted to find a way into the fan fest happening at the Ellipse near the White House but that plan also went awry.
While he did manage to make it inside and actually jump in a WWE ring set up at the event, Strickland was quickly removed by security and escorted out.
Strickland wasn’t arrested but he claims he may be facing a disorderly conduct charge, which is a Class B misdemeanor in Washington D.C. punishable by up to 90 days in jail and up to a $500 fine or both.
